That being said, I managed to finish something fun this week - another piece of scenery for DeepWars!
I was out at my local Petsmart, and they had a bunch of aquarium plants on sale, so I picked up a few for the various DeepWars terrain that has been floating in the back of my mind for some time now.
The Kelp Forest terrain is used in games set in the Shallow Sea environment, and provide cover for your troops while also counting as a difficult terrain (I can imagine a massive tangle of kelp would be hard to navigate if you are not an otter). These pieces were pretty easy to manage, so it should not be too hard to recreate if you so desire.
To start, here is a nice group shot with some of my Scaly Horde figures hiding amongst the leafy branches.
I made two pretty much identical pieces. The materials used:
- plastic aquarium plants
- green floral wire
- sand borrowed from nature
- hot glue and PVA glue
- large tree base from 4ground terrain
- a few crystals from Anarchy models
- some craft paint
A couple closeups:
I really like the 4ground tree bases, as the plants are removable for ease of use during gameplay:
So there you have it, I hope you enjoy my latest addition to the DeepWars table I am making!
